I just saw the movie for the first time...would have been a total waste except for the fact Halle Berry was in it.

It was incredibly bad, with things going on that had no reason to be happening.

I'd give it a 3 out of 10.

No, on second thought, there were 2 things that make it a 5.

hey, it has to be at least an 6 Come on, don't tell me the "human claymore" thing wasn't absolutly awesome. All the glass on the skyscraper shattering in a wave, then finally the ball bearing stopping, smeared with blood? Then, the bus, and finally where he shoots the chopper down, just to ifnd that he tricked them all? I thought it was good entertainment, even if the plot kinda was dry.

what, you people don't like swordfish? I agree the human claymre mines were awesome and ending was like something stackpole worked up. ok the stackpole allusion probally turned you off the movie more.

[sigh]

oh well I should shut up before you think worse of it.

either way I would give it an 8

What did I dislike about Swordfish?

John Travolta
A poor plot
Terrible acting
One excuse for s special effect after another.

What did I like about Swordfish?
Hallie Berry's chest.

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

Hallie berrie's chest was a hge advantage
But I do think Travolta is a great actor. And when the human clamoremine chick blew up that was awesome special effects.

lol, Travola played that part to perfection IMO: "I've been told the best hackers in the world can crack this in 60 minutes. I need someone who can do it in 60 seconds. Starting....now. *60 second and a very shaken hacker later* Come on Stan, ya know I'm just F***ing with ya!"

Travolta is a great acter ......"a little to much like masturbation without the pay off"... he was in a ton of great movies like face off, and broken arrow to name a few.

Whenever I see John Travolta I ALWAYS see Vinnie Barbarino and the Sweathogs. I just can't see him in any other role.

"Awww Jeez, Mr. Kotter..."
